Prosecutor: Sandusky attorney missed deadline for appeal

The state Attorney General's Office is asking a judge to dismiss an appeal by Jerry Sandusky's defense lawyer.

Prosecutors said Sandusky attorney Karl Rominger missed the deadline to file a brief and other records for the appeal, so they want it thrown out.

News 8's legal analyst Jeff Conrad offered some insight on what could be going on with Sandusky's defense team.

"It doesn't make any sense. Certainly you want to have a logical plan as to what you're doing and attorneys don't want to be ineffective. This kind of lawyering, where you miss deadlines, it's just ineffective to be that way," Conrad said.

Rominger Tweeted on Wednesday: "I told the staff, some mistakes go unnoticed, but some are more newsworthy. But the buck stops with me and I'll take ownership."
